“…The green synthesis of NPs mediated by plant extracts involves the alleviation of metal ions [ 131 ] due to the presence of biomolecules such as phenols, terpenoids, ketones, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, enzymes, amides, and flavonoids [ 130 , 132 , 133 , 134 , 135 ]. The plant extracts prepared from their different parts such as roots, stems, barks, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds have been used for green synthesis of NPs [ 136 , 137 , 138 , 139 , 140 , 141 , 142 ]. The plant extracts can function as reducing and stabilizing agents in the green synthesis of NPs [ 133 ].…”
